I just wanted to post some help for those who are having trouble restoring to your new MM install.

If it were not for me being an network engineer I would have never figured out how to make this work!
-In windows 10 or 7 search for Power Shell from the start menu.
-Right click the Power Shell app and select 'Run As Administrator'
-At the command prompt type: cd <Location of MM backup files> Example: (cd C:\users\user1\desktop\media monkey backup\)
-Next type .\Restore

This should get you past the VB script error

I did exactly as told in this/above post. And yet I found the same error, as when I run the 'Restore' command with admin rights from within Windows Explorer.

Just installed the addon and I'm trying to back up files. It did back up the files the 1st time, but subsequent times I get the following message "Backup cancelled because output folder already exists". What am I doing wrong?

Hi,

Just installed the addon and I'm trying to back up files. It did back up the files the 1st time, but subsequent times I get the following message "Backup cancelled because output folder already exists". What am I doing wrong?

At time of closing Media Monkey version 4.1.21.1875
I get the following error:
Script: C:\Users\Drew\AppData\Roaming\MediaMonkey\Scripts\Abackup2.vbs
Line: 328
Char: 11
Error: Path not found
Code: 800A004C
Source: Microsoft6 VBScript runtime error

Here are lines from Abackup2.vbs
327 For Each fil In par.Files328 Call fso.CopyFile(fil.Path,m3up,True)
329 Call fso.DeleteFile(fil.Path,True)
330 Next

What file is it having problems finding? Where do I correct that setting?

Windows Version 10.0.17763 Build 17763
Thanks!

What I would suggest, if you want to find your locations super fast, is to install Everything, which is a search engine for your computer. In fact, you don't even have to install it. You can get the standalone version if you want.

I think you might find that many users manually restore, as Restore.vbs has been troublesome.

Double click MediaMonkey.reg to add the data to the Registry.

Copy and replace MediaMonkey.ini to either C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\MediaMonkey or C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local\MediaMonkey.
Just check the above location for you.

Copy and replace MM.DB to either C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\MediaMonkey or C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local\MediaMonkey.
It should be the same location as MediaMonkey.ini

The Plugins, Scripts and Skins folders are copied and replaced at:
C:\Program Files (x86)\MediaMonkey\Skins for a 64-bit operating system or C:\Program Files\MediaMonkey\Skins for a 32-bit operating system.

The MediaMonkey folder is copied and replaced at: C:\ProgramData\MediaMonkey
I doubt if that last one changes too much.

Thank you very much. You solved major part of the problem.

OK, so in other words, this addon has no support, at least looking at this thread and the age of the addon... I guess I'll just do the backups thru Windows, no big deal.

Hi Mikey.

I still use the Backup Addon, but I never set it to backup at shutdown, as I always used to get errors. I don't use Auto either.
I just click on the Backup icon from time to time, and I never have a problem.

Hi all,
I'm running MM 4.1.23.1881, and running the 'Backup' addon (v6.0). I have two issues that I'm running into. All I really want to do is back up my music and settings, so if someone has another recommendation, I'm open to suggestions, since it's entirely possible that I'm doing this the hard way.

Anyway, here are the issues:

1. When trying to configure the 'Backup Archive' (Which I take to be the music itself, but I could be wrong), I can set the floder, but I can't click on the radio button to turn the option on.

2. When shutting down MM (Which is when I have the backups scheduled to happen), "Backup canceled because output folder already exists", which seems kind of silly, since most people want to back things up more than once in their lifetimes.

Anyway, I haven't figured out what I'm doing wrong, and any help would be greatly appreciated.
